Terrible 2's or Terrible 1's

Okay, so moma is not even two years old yet, but the past few days you'd swear she is right in the middle of her terrible 2's. it's making me nuts. today she threw things when she got mad, screamed in a high pitched fashion, hit me and tried to bite me, all of which she has never done before until yesterday. what is going on? has my little angel that every one says is so well behaved turned into a maniac?? i don't know if i can deal with it. after being in time out today 5 different times for five different offenses and actually putting HERSELF into time out one of the times, I'm wondering where my little good behaved kid has gone. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that we have been cooped up in our house for way too long. with feeling so sick these past couple of months, i haven't been the best mom. i haven't been taking her outdoors as much and it has been raining quite a bit the past couple of weeks which has added to our time indoors. today was a nice day so when dadi got home, i asked him if he wouldn't mind taking her out to play while i did some stuff around the house and had a little break. he took her out and they played with the sidewalk chalk and kicked the ball around. i think i have a few more days of sunshine before the rain comes again, so I'm going to make a good effort to take her outside to burn off some of that maniac energy she has in her. hopefully it will work. I'm not sure if i can deal with being sick every day and getting a poopy attitude from the kid. she actually made me cry today and it was only 11:30 am!!! i had had enough! i know the hormones from being pregnant aren't helping with the crazy outburst of my emotions, but i think i may have cried even if it weren't for the pregnancy!! oh..... i just want my angel back. hopefully tomorrow will be better.

What is she, like 18 or 19 months? My sister and I were talking about her little girl today and we agree it's the worst age ever. They're trying to exert their independence and communication is frustrating and they have so much energy! Hang in there, mama, I swear it passes. And then comes another phase. :)

It's the hardest thing to watch the "perfect" child that you know you've raised so well, actually turn into the normal 2 year old we all dread! It never seems like it will happen- but it happened to me twice! So sorry! But you are an excellent mom, it has nothing to do with how you've raised her!

Um yeah, that sweet child that you know, will soon be gone forever...at least until she is over the terrible two's stage. Ryley drives us nuts most days. It is a combination of being 2 and being stuck inside with all the snow we've been getting.
